I hate my mood swings. One minute I'm up the next minute I'm down. I think I need a med change but I don't trust the person that is filling in for my pdoc. She seemed nice enough but not knowledgeable about the different drugs and how they interact with each other. I take a lot of meds and my pdoc knows how they all fit together but he doesn't come home from deployment until September. So don't know what to do until he comes home. I see the nurse tomorrow to get my shot and she is good about keeping track of my symptoms so maybe she can give me some insight or suggestions on what to do. I just know at the rate I'm going I'm headed for the hospital soon and I really don't want to go that route.

Know what you mean...about wanting to get your meds sorted out and feeling like it's taking forever! I see my p-nurse practitioner later this week, but nothing we've tried in a year has truly balanced me out. The mood swings are at times insane. The only reason I can stay in some semblance of control is that I'm at home most of the time and my partner's here. But left to my own devices...not good. Irritability to anger to crying to exhaustion to sleep(and some right on top of/mixed). Yep, that happened on Monday over the course of 3 hours. And I wasn't at home for most of it. I know people think I'm weird if not nuts. I used to be so good at controlling my emotions.

Hope you can get in touch with your p-doc before September or maybe find someone more skilled than the fill-in.

So difficult - not in your shoes at present. But have been.

I do hope so will become of the medication issue - soon

I talked with Peggy (the nurse) today as she was giving me my shot and I told her about the mood swings and such and how when I swing down it seems to be swinging even lower. She said that she was leaving on vacation next week and my T is on vacation next week also so there is no one there I can contact if things get to out of kilter. I guess if worse comes to worse I can see Lynae. She is the one filling in for my pdoc. I am just hoping that I can manage next week on my own and not have to come in and see Lynae.

I can't say it won't be a bit difficult or uneasy - But you'll make it.

Have confidence in yourself - like you did with you family gathering
